microscopy-grade immersion-oil variants. The primary difference is pack quantity.

However, always check that the objective is specifically marked for oil immersion before applying oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use BIOLAB Immersion Oil on any microscope objective?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Use it only with an objective designed for oil immersion and confirm compatibility with the microscope or objective manufacturer's instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan immersion oil be used on a 40× objective?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if that particular 40× objective is specifically designed and marked for oil immersion. Many 40× objectives are dry objectives and should not be exposed to immersion oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy should there be no air bubbles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAir bubbles reintroduce a low-refractive-index gap into the optical path and may interfere with image quality and illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much immersion oil should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse enough to create continuous contact between the specimen area and compatible oil-immersion objective without excessive spreading. Follow the microscope manufacturer's operating instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShould immersion oil be cleaned after every use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Excess immersion oil should normally be removed from the objective after microscopy according to the objective manufacturer's cleaning instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I use to clean the objective?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse suitable optical lens paper and only cleaning materials or solvents recommended by the microscope \/ objective manufacturer. Avoid rough tissue and abrasive cleaning materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan different brands of immersion oil be mixed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMixing different oils is not recommended unless compatibility is specifically confirmed, because refractive index, dispersion, viscosity and other optical characteristics may differ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use immersion oil for fluorescence microscopy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not assume a general-purpose immersion oil is suitable for fluorescence. Fluorescence microscopy can require specially formulated low-autofluorescence oil. Confirm the requirements of your fluorescence objective before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use immersion oil instead of water immersion medium?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. An objective designed for water immersion should normally use the immersion medium specified by its manufacturer. Oil, water, glycerol and silicone objectives are optically different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs immersion oil a diagnostic reagent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Immersion oil is an optical microscopy medium \/ laboratory accessory.
